Lego Expands Smart Play Line with Pokémon
Lego is set to release its new Pokémon Smart Play sets, following the earlier introduction of Smart Brick technology in its Star Wars line. These new collections will be available starting this weekend, bringing interactive elements to the building experience.
Interactive Features and Game Mechanics
The Pokémon Smart Play collaboration includes all-in-one sets with Smart Bricks and compatible sets that require a separate Smart Brick. A key distinction for the Pokémon line is its emphasis on replicating the franchise's video game roots. Smart Bricks placed inside Pokémon figures produce sounds and react to other compatible devices, including snoring when left alone.
When two Smart Brick-enabled Pokémon are placed near each other, they interact and communicate. Bringing two figures together repeatedly initiates a battle, where the Smart Bricks account for factors like type advantages and each monster's HP. The losing Pokémon will faint, and potions can be used to restore health. Some sets also include Smart Brick-compatible training equipment to boost Pokémon stats.
Enhanced Play Experience
This level of interaction aims to transform the play experience with Lego sets. Unlike the Star Wars line, which often involves recreating scenes, the Pokémon collection translates the essence of the video games into physical, buildable blocks, offering a more dynamic and engaging play pattern for users.
